SENATE.
Senator Bowen's bill taxing railroad land
was passed with an important amendment
yesterday. which relieves actual sett erS
who have paid taxes from the date OF lur-
chase from all back taxes. This will st:tlle
the question of taxes which have frightened
settlers in the state from occupying certain
| railroad lands. The provision is intended to
! protect those settlers who have bought
| lard in good faith, ana who have paid ner
I taxes from the time OF purchase, but will
! reach great many persons, who it Is
| claimed; have evaded and are still evading
| the payment of any taxes at all

Capt. Snider was in the chair Of the house
at $50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when
Speaker Merriam, standing in the main aisle
and having just came in, made 4 startling
| announcement He said:
I have just met the architects who have been
| examining the condition OF this hall. They tell
me that 1t 1s very DANGEROUS, and that we ought
| not to remain mere InOm"nj. When we adjourn
! it should be to Market hail
The members looked around and then IN
to the ceiling, where cracks were opening
| and the great center beams sagylng down
! Then they glanced at the gallery with its
depressed line. Some laughed, and others
| inquired Us to which side would fall first
Still others felt nervous In fact the house
was on his feet The speaker had
| no control over them aud confusion
reiened. Mr.: Potter moved that the
committee of the whole rise, which was
! doue with alacritv. Mr.. Merriam took the
| chair, but could not preserve order. With
much haste and little decorum motion to
adjourn to Monday at $50 p. III. and then
! to meet at Market hall was put and carried
